Work and Residence Permit
The presence of foreigners in Switzerland for gainful purpose requires permission. Permission for employees entering for the first time is primarily granted to citizens from states of the European Union (EU) and then to citizens from states of the other traditional recruiting areas (e.g. U.S.A., Canada etc.)
For annual or short-term residents entering Switzerland for the first time for taking up gainful employment and residence the KIGA (Kanton office for industry, Trade and work) shall check if the requirements for exercising a gainful employment are fulfilled. Based on this decision the KAFA (Kanton office for foreign affairs) will issue a residence permit.
Currently, efforts are being made to liberalize the Swiss foreigner policy.
There is a set of different forms of the work permit forms of the work permit, which gives you the possibility to establish yourself in Switzerland for a four month or unlimited duration.
